The project
We produced a scale model for Porcelanosa as part of the extension of its factory in Villareal. The work translated the site's architecture and machinery into a physical model with a distinctive feature: annual updates to reflect changes to the complex at the time of the trade fair.
The process began with visits to the site, where we took photographs and sketched architectural elements and machinery. This documentation provided the reference for modelling the components and preparing them for 3D printing and laser cutting.
The model combines acrylic, wood and cardboard, using laser cutting, engraving and 3D printing. Our contribution covered site documentation, modelling and fabrication of the scale representation, rather than the design of the factory it depicts.
The model brings together the industrial buildings and their surroundings. Elongated volumes, roofs and road layouts establish the overall arrangement, while ancillary buildings, miniature vehicles and technical areas add a further level of detail.
Annual updates are part of the documented commission. The model is modified to match the appearance of the facilities at the time of the trade fair. Rather than preserving a single moment, it is a model that evolves alongside the factory.
Photographs and sketches made on site formed the basis for modelling both the architecture and the machinery.
Annual updates allow changes to the facilities to be incorporated into the model.
